Absolutely fabulous place to stay.
Pros:

Beautiful room, fabulous staff, spotlessly clean. Breakfast was fantastic. Best stay we have had in a while

Cons:

Is a distance from town. In good weather, that wouldn’t be a problem as the walk in is lovely (about 30mins), the weather was poor when we stayed.

Perfect!
Pros:

Fabulous location just across from an amazing beach. Beautiful room with super comfortable beds and luxurious bedding. Ensuite shower room was slightly dated in decor but spotlessly clean and the shower was amazing in water pressure and endless hot water.
Breakfast was included in our rate. Huge choice of cereal, fruit etc and main breakfast cooked to order.....exactly as I like and accommodating to my requirements.
Staff were so friendly and helpful.
We dined in the restaurant for dinner and it was excellent in quality and price.
Definitely will return ❤️

Cons:

Having to leave 😕

Lacks charm but functional.
Pros:

Location was good. Beach is across the street and towns not far. It was similar to a motel 6 in the states so it was functional and clean. Our room faced the gas station next door. Powdered scrambled eggs for breakfast . Staff was nice. We had to ask for the heat to be turned on in the room and in the shower. Innishowen Penninsula was beautiful so happy to be in the area. Stayed in other lovely inns hotels in Ireland and this one really lacked charm.

Cons:

Listed in my comments.
